Real Madrid defender Pepe was trolled by football fans on Twitter for simulation during the UCL final against rivals Atletico Madrid in Milan. Although Los Blancos won the match on post-match penalties, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s last penalty, the Pepe was still trending on Twitter.

The incident occurred when Pepe clashed with Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis in the second half of the match. The ex-Chelsea man then offered Pepe a hand to help him rise above the ground but he rejected the kind offer. In return, Luis tapped Pepe on the cheek and what ensued afterwards was the kind of acting worthy of an Oscar award.
The 33-year-old rolled on the ground simulating that he had been slapped by Luis, hoping that he could get him booked.

Clown...
Pepe is a complete embarrassment. The king of simulation. Good defender, bad actor.
